Israelis held hostage (part 2)

Continuing

@Kaffeebitte yes I hope so too.

As Israel aren’t releasing ‘soldiers’ my thoughts are that Hamas won’t either, not so early on anyway.

Im afraid.

The other one I think about a lot is Noa, the girl on the back of the motorbike.

So they give with one hand and take with another

Exactly this.
This was a great deal for Israel, not so much for Palestinians.
And the Israeli goverment said that even if they het all the hostages back, it will not make any difference on bombing/killing Palestinians..

And like I said, they didn’t even get all of the aid in…

@Kaffeebitte yes it's hard not to think of those where there was clear social media evidence that they had been abducted.

Can I ask if they found her boyfriend? He was being frogmarched off by gunmen as she was put on the bike.

@Stomacharmeleon I’m not certain but I think I saw him on a list of hostages somewhere .

It will make no difference at all.
There is a grand plan for Gaza and it doesn’t include the Palestinians.
Irrespective of hostage release.
However, Once the agreed number of hostages are released the bombing and shootings will be far worse than we have seen so far.

Its like waiting for death…it’s inevitable.

Or- the fact there is any mediation happening is good news. The more talking the more hope. The status quo has changed again - and with change comes some hope.

a fragment of hope

The Red Cross are seeking information from Israel re some of their medical staff
Have they become hostages ?
There is no news on the director of Al -Shifa either?

Hamas has released some hostages
Although different sites are declaring different numbers so I don’t know how accurate this is.

Apologies. The Red Crescent ( not cross )

Hostages in Egypt now

Pics look like some are older female teenagers but v hard to tell

@Kaffeebitte I have just heard Emily hand has been released :) (I hope this is right)

Yes I think I saw her in one of the vehicles

The Times of Israel are updating on names of those released as it happens.
Heres the first ones named

Yes
See The Times Of Israel.

So far tonight:

emily hand
Sharon Avigdori 52, daughter Noam 12
Noam 17 (male) and Alma 13 Or, I believe mum was murdered, dad remains a hostage
Hila rotem 13 (mum remains a hostage)

some Members of the shoham family; mum adi,
shoshan Haran 67, her daughter adi Shoham, 38 and children yahel 3 and naveh 8. I believe other members of family may still be hostage, but I haven’t yet confirmed
shira Weiss 53 and daughter noga 18
maya regev 21 (I believe brother who is 18 also still hostage but need to confirm)

So is that all the children now? I thought there was a 10 month old baby? There’s a 21 year old on the list. I wonder how they come up with the list or if it’s by location where they’re held

No, there are still more children being held hostage, including kfir (10 month old) and his toddler sibling Ariel, and dafna and Ella elyakim (15 and 8)

There also 3 year old twins, cousins of the 5 year old girl released yesterday, amongst other children.

Abigail?

Not yet released 😥😥😥
